Where did all these fences come from?● After 9/11, Congress enacted the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA),
which created the TSA; FAA’s civil aviation security responsibilities handed over to TSA
● Prior to 9/11, federal airport security focused mostly on commercial, scheduled ops
● 200,000 GA aircraft in the US responsible for 77% of all US air traffic
● 145 million passengers transported annually in GA aircraft...business and personal
● TSA published detailed guidelines and recommendations for GA security
● Local GA airports are more secure, but a lot less inviting to the general public

As aviation teachers, the local airport may be our most valuable resource for
knowledge and inspiration.

What is an FBO?● FBO = “Fixed-Base Operator”
○ The terminology arose from the Air Commerce Act of 1926, which began to regulate aviation during the Barnstorming Era; services thus became less transient and more “fixed”
○ An FBO is an organization granted the right by an airport to operate a business that may offer:■ Fueling■ Tie-downs■ Hangars■ Aircraft Rentals■ Flight Instruction■ Maintenance■ Scenic Flights■ Crop Dusting■ Banner Towing■ Courtesy vehicles

Tips....● Survey your students…what do they want to see or experience?● Be specific with requests of your hosts
○ “CFI or flight student to demo a pre-flight”○ “Hands-on flight sim experience”○ Minimize “presentations” - students get enough of that in the classroom
● Dress appropriately (cold weather gear)● Lunch - ask about use of airport meeting room or flight school classroom● Small vs. large groups● Look for pre-arranged opportunities….fly-ins, career showcases
